Re: Dungeons and Dreamboats V: Snakes & Cakes

Hate to point it out, but it's a trace. Open that in one tab, then open the one below in another. Make sure they're the same size, then click between them.

I tried opening both images in separate tabs and clicking between the tabs (that's the closest I could get to what you said), and it didn't do anything.

Edit: Oh I see, you mean the artist just traced it. Still, too good not to post. Plus, it's like those templates you see up on deviantart. You take an outline, add a bit, and give it colors of your choice to make it how you want it.

Digression: how much of photography is art, and how much is it recording and sharing? Is that an acceptable definition of art?

For me, though, the technique has to be taken into consideration. Speaking as a doodler, tracing raises my hackles because it is lazy. It doesn't help you to improve as an artist. It might help specific techniques (practice for inking, or something like that), but then you probably shouldn't be claiming it as your art. I checked Martixxx's page for the piece. If it had acknowledged the picture it used, I wouldn't have said anything. But this is misrepresenting something that is not your creation as such. Which would be a lie. And not the social lubricant type, either.

Re: Dungeons and Dreamboats V: Snakes & Cakes

I am looking for female pilots, preferably piston age or fantasy, not jet or space age. Other than a preference for goggles and revolvers over G suits and lasers, I don't really have a lot of specific requirements.

Re: Dungeons and Dreamboats V: Snakes & Cakes

Two requests, if I may.

I need two things. Both wizards.

First, I am looking for an illusionst, a shadow themed one. I am looking more for a general mood than a look. A relatively dark picture, where a spellcaster of some kind is summoning up something shadowy, creating a mirage or in some other fashion confusing reality.

The second one I have a better idea of. I want a star themed wizard. Involved in astrology, prophecy, predicting the future. He should have all kinds of instruments with him, some kind of lab, maybe. A look of general wisdom and things was not meant to know (tm).

And sorry for being awfully vague, here.
